#SnowDayPD

Two weeks ago I had just returned from a very inspiring trip to #FETC in Orlando and I was ready to implement some of the ideas from the conference. Unfortunately, the impending snowpocalypse had other plans. My first day back to work, everyone was abuzz with weather channels and predictions. It was during a conversation with a colleague who was already rearranging her schedule for the week to account for the snow that a light bulb went off in my own head!

The best part of my snowday PD plan was that…there was no plan. We wanted to offer teachers around the district and state an opportunity to learn and grow (while in their pajamas) and to give them real, authentic answers to their questions. So we created a form, took a chance and flew by the seat of our pants.

Aside from a few technical issues towards the beginning and a couple rowdy kids in the background, I couldn’t be happier with the result. It ranks as one of my favorite PDs to date.
